After last weekend I have been feeling perkier again.
This was the weekend of the Cactus Show! long awaited.... It gave a chance to meet up with Cactus Man, who I have not seen in quite a while. It was good to catch up.
I wasn't sure what to expect (apart from cacti). The hall was full of cacti and succulents and some of the specimens on show were very very old. A lot probably spend their pampered lives in greenhouses. The variety was abslutely astounding...
And yes, they had a stall selling them and yes I did purchase a few. They truly are wierd and wonderful.
And they had some really good homemade cakes on sale to.
I also spotted a second hand three piece suite for sale.
Our Lounge has long been my craft refuge and things had piled up while my energy was low over the years. I hadn't wanted to get a three piece suite because I didn't have the energy to deal with everything that doing so would entail. But I saw this one and it was time.
So it has been in the back of the van since Friday night as we have tackled the behemouth that sits below. We are not done yet, really but we are done enough to get the three piece suite in - once himself gets back from the tip.
It is pretty astounding that we have done this.... A real indication of the change in me. A huge deboning process. We have let go of an awful lot.
It feels good.
It will feel even better when I am sat there tonight on a sofa, with my feet up on a recliner, watching TV, with a dog snuggled next to me, stuffed between me and my man.
I will try not to think about the small dog I managed to trap in the recliner while trying it out, before buying it....
I was mortified.
(We wondered where he had gone and he was gone a while. I spotted these two paws stickingout)
